    The same reason why they always ask for "JP only" in party finder. It's not that they're xenophobic, but they require people to be able to communicate in their PRACTICE parties.

    Also the same reason why in DF you rarely see JP players typing out lines and lines of strategies yet everyone manages to do what is expected of them.

    EN servers sadly have a completely opposite mindset in which DF is a place to fail. This causes their playerbase to become more fragmented because the newbies themselves are pushing the more experienced people away to be in their own servers with their own groups.

    JP players have got it right in the sense that with pre-formed parties, it's for practice. Why else would there be no penalty for leaving in a full pre-formed party whereas there is one if you went in without a full party? Isn't it better to practice in a fully pre-formed group where people have similar mindset and won't leave halfway through than to go through DF parties where people keep dropping?

    I'm also playing in tonberry and trust me, doing it their way when I first tried for the EMs did wonders for me. Clearing all Titan and Ifrit EM through DF in 1 day after simply forming a practice party in PF for both primals and getting a feel for it as a tank. I reckon if I was playing in EN servers' DF, it would've been impossible for me to get a party competent enough through the DF that allowed me to clear both EMs in 1 day.

    The more you shun good players from the DF, the harder it is for the majority of players to clear harder content through DF.

    Yeah I have no idea how DF became a place for only if you're a newbie. I always thought it was meant for convenience of setting up a group and getting content done. What DF has become now is a just a one or two attempt party because players lose hope after seeing how bad runs go.
